These are **n-type TOPCon** modules, which more effectively utilize irradiation compared to standard solutions and better maintain parameters at higher temperatures, translating to predictable energy production during the summer season. The application of **glass-glass** construction increases protection against moisture and mechanical stress while enhancing fire safety, which is important for commercial roofs and projects with heightened requirements. Thanks to **bifacial** modules, energy can also be harvested from the rear side, which helps in situations with light reflectance from a bright substrate. In practice, the series addresses yield losses associated with degradation and PID risk, offering **limited PID effect** and very low annual degradation. For installers, key features include **Stäubli MC4 EVO 2 connectors** and an optimized, durable design suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. ## Notable figures - 23.0% module efficiency - 0.6pp better than the \*\*TOPCon 550-600W\*\* median of 22.4% - 230.3 W/m² power density - 5.9 W/m² more than \*\*TOPCon 550-600W\*\* median (224.4 W/m²), more power per roof area - At -0.29%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*TOPCon 550-600W\*\* panels - Ranked #1744 out of 14005 panels for efficiency in the database ## Questions ### What is the warranty on LEDVANCE M575-595N72LB-BF-F7 solar panels? The M575-595N72LB-BF-F7 series comes with a 25-year product warranty and a 30-year power output warranty. The 30-year linear power guarantee is among the longest available on the market, making it especially relevant when calculating ROI for commercial and industrial installations. The warranty is backed by LEDVANCE, headquartered in Germany. ### What does bifacial mean in the LEDVANCE M575-595N72LB-BF-F7 and does it actually increase energy yield? Bifacial means the module generates power from both front and rear surfaces. The rear side captures light reflected off bright surfaces such as white membranes, gravel, or snow. Under suitable ground-mount or light-rooftop conditions, the additional yield from bifacial gain typically ranges from 5 to 25 percent compared to a monofacial module. On dark rooftops the effect is minimal, so evaluating the specific installation site before selecting this module is recommended. ### How does TOPCon technology in the M575-595N72LB-BF-F7 series compare to older PERC modules? N-type TOPCon cells deliver higher conversion efficiency and a lower temperature coefficient than standard PERC cells. This translates to better power output on hot days when module temperature rises well above 25 degrees Celsius. TOPCon also eliminates LID (light-induced degradation), the irreversible power loss that affects P-type cells shortly after commissioning. The result is more stable energy production throughout the system's lifetime. ### Is the LEDVANCE M575-595N72LB-BF-F7 series resistant to PID degradation? Yes, the M575-595N72LB-BF-F7 series features limited PID (Potential Induced Degradation). PID is a gradual power loss caused by high system voltage combined with moisture and elevated temperatures. The N-type TOPCon cell structure and glass-glass construction significantly reduce PID risk compared to conventional modules, protecting long-term energy yield especially in high-voltage string configurations. ### What connectors do the LEDVANCE M575-595N72LB-BF-F7 panels use and are they compatible with my existing system? The M575-595N72LB-BF-F7 modules are fitted with Stäubli MC4 EVO 2 connectors, the industry-standard interface compatible with the vast majority of inverters and BoS components on the market. MC4 EVO 2 connectors provide enhanced moisture and corrosion resistance, which is critical for rooftop installations exposed to long-term weathering. ### Are the LEDVANCE M575-595N72LB-BF-F7 glass-glass modules suitable for flat roofs and commercial installations? Yes, the dual-glass construction, replacing the standard rear backsheet with a second glass layer, is specifically recommended for commercial and industrial applications. It provides superior resistance to moisture, ammonia, and mechanical loading, while also improving the module's fire safety rating. This is particularly relevant for projects with elevated fire protection requirements, such as production halls or logistics warehouses. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/asset-13237378-m575-595n72lb-bf-f7-bcd415406b46.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-A645-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a645-mae72mw) | 645 W | +50 W, lighter, +2.0 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | -35 W, lighter, +1.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A640-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a640-mae72mw) | 640 W | +45 W, lighter, +1.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-555M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-555m) | 555 W | -40 W, lighter, +1.6 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A635-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a635-mae72mw) | 635 W | +40 W, lighter, +1.6 pp | | [LEDVANCE M540P72LM-SF](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m540p72lm-sf) | 540 W | -55 W, -2.1 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [LEDVANCE M545P72LM-SF](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m545p72lm-sf) | 545 W | -50 W, -1.9 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [LEDVANCE M550P72LM-SF](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m550p72lm-sf) | 550 W | Hotter, -1.7 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [LEDVANCE M555P72LM-SF](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m555p72lm-sf) | 555 W | Hotter, -1.5 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [LEDVANCE M560P72LM-SF](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m560p72lm-sf) | 560 W | Hotter, -1.4 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [LEDVANCE M565N72LB-SF-F3](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m565n72lb-sf-f3) | 565 W | -30 W, hotter, -1.2 pp | | [LEDVANCE M570N72LB-SF-F3](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m570n72lb-sf-f3) | 570 W | -25 W, hotter, -1.0 pp | | [LEDVANCE M575N72LB-SF-F3](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m575n72lb-sf-f3) | 575 W | -20 W, hotter, -0.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A650-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a650-mae72mw) | 650 W | +55 W, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A630-MAH72Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a630-mah72dw) | 630 W | +35 W, cooler, +1.4 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m575-595n72lb-bf-f7-595 Not in this file, on the page: the I-V and temperature curves lifted from the manufacturer's datasheet, a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
